What are Andersons Seminars?

The Andersons Spring Seminars provide an overview of the entire UK farming industry and its prospects – covering policy changes, new legislation, economic outlook, market prospects and profitability. They look at the implications for the future structure of UK farming and farm businesses, and those that service them. The seminars have been running for 28 years and have become a key event for professionals operating in the farming and agricultural sectors as they give a concise overview of the entire agricultural industry in a three-hour session.

In addition to our seminars, we speak at numerous other events throughout the UK, Ireland and continental Europe on a wide range of topics related to the economics of agriculture and farm business management.

Benefits of attending our public seminars:

  • Delegates come away with a deeper understanding of the current issues facing the farming sector allowing them to better understand the needs of their clients and customers.
  • By looking at the future prospects for the industry, delegates are prompted to think about the direction of their own organisations.
  • Delegates also appreciate the opportunity to meet a wide cross-section of the agricultural industry in an informal setting and to exchange ideas and views

What do you get?

All delegates to the Seminars get a full colour printed booklet with a copy of the presentation along with additional detailed notes.

The Seminars start promptly at 10:00am and finish with lunch at 1:00pm. The Seminar provides 3 hours of CPD.

What do people say?

Each spring over 600 delegates attend our Seminars, with many attending regularly year after year. In 2023, 98.3% of attendees rated them as either good or excellent.
